  • What's your favourite job on the lottie/in the greenhouse?

    I really enjoy last thing in the day, watering my seedling with the watering can. Peace, quiet, just the birds singing, the gentle sound of water from the can watering my lovely little seedlings............................

      I love going up in the evening listening to George and Eric our resident robins, watering but the best job I love is weeding, I find it so satisfying........then a brew and a natter and looking at whats growing............

        First thing in the morning - I love to go out with a mug of coffee and chat to the hens and potter around the garden. Sets up the whole day.
        The weeks and the years are fine. It's the days I can't cope with!

              Another vote for pottering - that and admiring finished areas, like standing back and admiring a freshly weeded bed or a newly planted one. Oh yes and also the picking - nothing beats going back with a basket of freshly picked produce, food meters not miles...........

              Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

              Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                Here's me thinking I was the only one in the world who actually enjoyed hand weeding!
                Quite partial to a brew and a natter as well. Trouble is I had to light the woodburning stove to heat my kettle today and even with the door and windows of the greenhouse propped open the heat was still unbearable inside.Good reason to walk around the plot like Lord of the Manner with a mug of coffee nested firmly in my mitt!

                I'm too tight to spend money on a new gas canister for my little gas stove!

                  Am I the only one whose very favourite job is harvesting and eating?
                  I also really enjoy the morning greenhouse check - to see who has come up in the night, who has grown a bit taller - yes, they really do grow overnight.

                    First thing in the morning, when I go down to the greenhouse, put the plants out which are hardening off, and see what has popped up during the night. Usually done with the first cup of tea in the day in hand.
